山间田野

歌手简介

Tamas Wells既是团名也是其中主唱的名字，这支来自澳洲墨尔本的indie-pop乐团最早成立于2000年初，当时只有Owen Gray (bass, harmonica)及Ben Castle(violin)两名成员，发行的第一张EPHello Jealousy是张带点政治意味的民谣唱片，创作灵感来自当年的“第三世界国家债务解除运动”，第二年鼓手Nathan Collins的加入带入了新的创作元素，而接下来紧密的巡回演出，也为Tamas Wells在当地乐界积累了不少人气。2002年3月和8月分别发行了两张广受好评的EP（Cigarettes, a Tie and a Free Magazine及Stitch In Time），Ben中途退出，接着加入了Tamas和Anthony。知名制作人Tim Whitten（曾制作过Gery, Art of Fighting, Gaslight Radio）在听过Stitch in Time 之后颇为欣赏，邀请他们来悉尼的Megaphon studios共同录制新唱片，2004年第一张专辑A Mark On The Pane曾被评为当年最美的唱片之一。

尽管Tamas Wells十岁那年没能通过AMEB一级钢琴考试，却是从那时起真正喜爱上音乐，当被人提及他那“毫不做作的天使般的嗓音”时，他说那是一天喝八升水的成果。听着Tamas Wells总是容易想起那些骑着单车四处游荡无忧无虑的校园时光，如此纯净美好的声音。

Valder Fields

中文译名：山间田野、瓦尔德原野

I was found on the ground by the fountain at Valder Fields

And was almost dry

lying in the sun after I had tried

lying in the sun by the side

we had agreed that the council would end at three hours over-time

shoelaces were tied at the traffic lights

I was running late

(I) could apply for another one I guess

If department stores are best

they said (that) there would be delays

only temporary pay

for another one I guess

if department stores are best

they said (that) there would be delays

only temporary pay

she was found on the ground in a gown made at Valder Fields

and was sound asleep

(on the) stairs above the door

to the man who cried

when he said that he loved his life

we had agreed that the council should take his keys to the bedroom door

(in) ca he slept outside and was found in two

days in Valder Fields (with a) mountain view

(歌词中出现 after parking store 和 what a view 的版本 都是错误的！）
